BioWare Wants To Know: Mass Effect Prequel or Sequel?

Do you want Mass Effect 4 to follow up on the events of the trilogy? Or would you rather learn more about the universe before Shepard became a Spectre? BioWare wants to know… and in fact, is taking votes.

Casey Hudson, currently in charge of the series, is currently running an informal poll over on Twitter:

Parsing through your thoughts on the next #ME game. Would you be more interested in a game that takes place before the trilogy, or after?

So far, the votes seem fairly heavily in favor of a new trilogy picking up where the previous franchise left off, but there's still time to weigh in with your thoughts.

Our Take: We can see the case for both prequel and sequel. Figuring out where the series goes next after the climax of Mass Effect 3 would be one heck of a story. But it'd also be fun to see what Spectres got up to before Shepard began uncovering a universe-wide threat.
